Intro To Spreadsheets Y34
1. Mr Watson’s Introduction to Spreadsheets The ‘ Quick ’ and ‘ Easy ’ guide to using Microsoft Excel
2. “ I know what a spreadsheet is, I can enter simple data into a spreadsheet, and I can use simple formulae to perform calculations.” By the end of the lesson, I want you to be able to say…

4. So, how do they work then? Rows (Side to Side) [Numbered] Columns (Up and Down) [Letters] Cell (Every one on these boxes is a cell) Every cell has a name to help you find the right one. Its name starts with the column letter and then the row number. So, this cell is called what? F22
7. Using formulae Ok then, so that’s the basic stuff. We now know how to enter data in spreadsheets – it is really easy! Let’s do something more difficult then! Let’s use some formulae (that means sums!) In Numeracy, when we write a number sentence we write the ‘=’ sign just before the answer, in a spreadsheet we write it first, before the sum. So when you want a spreadsheet to work out a sum: PUT THE = FIRST! If you don’t it won’t work.

10. Task TWO =a2*b2 This is because these are the cells with the numbers we want to multiply. Note what happens when you enter the formula. Now use the same method that you used to FILL column B with 7’s to repeat the formula in column C. Can you remember how?
11. Task TWO If you have done it right, which you will have done! Your spreadsheet should look like this. Task Three: In a new spreadsheet, can you create the 8x table and the 12x table using the techniques we have learned so far.
